fruit picking

Get up at 5/6 in the morning, filling my bins (7-8bins) in the required time and we was always unsupervised so we had to put our bins out our self and we had the choice to work by ourself or with other people.
The hardest part of the job was when the trees where to close we had to get our ladders aound the tree, also working 7 days week but i didnt mind.
Most enjoyable part was when i was half way filling my bins also getting paid.

work at your own pace and the managers are.lovely guys who care about there staff
people go back to work year after year because they are fair and wnt take to many people on giving you more chance to earn enough in a week. hahndorf strawberry farm hihgly recommended

The most enjoyable part of fruit picking was the people. At the farm I had an opportunity to work with different types of cultures. I also learn some of their cultures.

Long hot days in the summer sun, very repetitive work although it has its benefits, you have a very diverse group of people working with you including backpackers from all over the world.

Worked in Australia for 5 months working and travelling.
Fruit picking & thinning of stonefruit trees and cherries. 
Cleaning executive homes in Gold Coast Resort.
Working with various cultures. Great team work.

Sometimes paid per piece (what you do.)makes more cash for effort worked. Then now days its more paid by hours worked. Not good if working by buckets,bags ect..ok great if travelling around  (walkabout)

It was great job for sure  because of collective teams. In addition, people are working independently as the part of creativability.In other hand, workers are known how much the do in dailly.

A fruit picking job is physically hard but it tought me that we need to work hard to earn some money. It also tought me how to handle difficult working conditions.

job is hard work.
different seasons bring different fruit/vegetables.
you have to work hard in order to get enough money.
overall would not recommend to anyone
